The Raynaud’s phenomenon test is used to diagnose this condition, while the stages of Raynaud’s phenomenon are assessed to determine the severity and duration of symptoms. Complaints of Raynaud’s phenomenon are usually based on the frequency and severity of the attacks that people experience. Raynaud’s syndrome can also occur in the area of the foot and the veins in this area can also be affected.<\/p>\n

The causes of Raynaud’s disease are unknown, but genetic predisposition, stress and connective tissue diseases may play a role. in answer to the question “Is Raynaud’s disease fatal?”: it is not directly fatal, but secondary forms may be associated with serious diseases.
